Wrongful-eviction defense: Mercy needs $450 before the deadline
A wrongful-eviction defense deadline is approaching and Mercy can't afford the lawyer.
🇰🇪 Kisumu, Kisumu, Kenya1,684 views
Mercy is facing a wrongful-eviction defense. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $450. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Mercy has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Kisumu Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Mercy could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $450 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $15
• Filing and biometrics fees: $90
• Attorney retainer: $345
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
